Well, I hate to bring up the whole Holocaust thing, but...

So, what is the conventional wisdom among hockey executives about who will be the next best coaching hire, and how do you know it? Do they think exactly the same way as fans do about this?


Of course you don't. The reason for that is that you do not have all the available information, and most likely you are also not nearly as well versed on the various criteria for getting the most out of this group of players. I am certain that Treliving has a better handle on these things than you do.
I'm not really here to change anyone's mind, so if you want to believe whoever Treliving hires is unequivocally the right choice, more power to you. I'm just saying I think this Bill Peters thing has "fool me once" written all over it and all the evidence I have available supports it.
